and employees be independent, impartial and responsible to the people;
that government decisions and policy be made in the proper channels
of the government structure; that public office not be used for personal
gain; and that the public have confidence in the integrity of its
government. In recognition of these goals, there is hereby established
a procedure for disclosure by certain officials and employees of private
financial or other interests in matters affecting the City of Trenton,
